Improving the quantity, quality, and accessibility of cataract services

Cataract remains a leading cause of vision loss in developing countries. Cataract blindness is treatable, fixed by a 15-20 minute surgical procedure.
In developing countries, there are not enough surgeries being performed so there is a back-log that keeps increasing.
THE ANSWER: MORE Surgeries!
How do we do this?
Assist current surgeons to increase the quality and quantity of surgery being performed.
-Train more surgeons
-Provide access to equipment
- Training for nurses and assistants
